Many hazardous materials teams carry mass spectrometers and other analytical tools that can screen a large number of chemicals and provide specific identification of an agent, said Jerome M. Hauer, who directs the Office of Public Health Preparedness in the Department of Health and Human Services.
Second, the protocol allowed early, highly specific identification of an expanding T cell clone after in vitro stimulation with CMV-peptide ( Fig. 4 ).
To analyse the putative application of the Confirmed SNPs as biomarkers for the specific identification of AIEC, a total of 16 SNPs present in 9 genes were screened in a wider strain collection of 22 AIEC and 28 non-AIEC strains2 (Tables S4 and S5) by Sanger sequencing.
It is a computational challenge to achieve sensitive and specific identification of pathogens in a complex metagenome background.
Initial diagnosis of the tumour was attempted by fine needle aspiration and cytology but, for a more specific identification of the tumour type, a preoperative biopsy was obtained in all cases using a Jamshidi needle and submitted to histopathology.
In general, some biomarkers allow the specific identification of exposure to a class of xenobiotics or alterations of physiological function, but the majority of biomarker applications monitor a general response to disturbance (Trapp et al. 2014).
Overall, the RS technique, although providing very specific identification of EC in a sample, has had limited application to the quantification of EC.
Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) can provide high sensitivity detection of an analyte, specific identification of the analyte in situ in a matrix and identification of several analytes in a solution without separation.
Instead, targeted killing rests on the specific identification of individuals who pose an imminent threat to the state's national security and are therefore legitimate targets within the framework of lawful self-defense.
